RICS Level 2 Survey

Should we go for a RICS Level 2 Survey, Full Structural Survey or RICS Level 3 Survey on a house in Mersea Island and which one would be cheaper?

The Full Structural Survey is now called a RICS Level 3 Survey but is basically the same the same comprehensive survey.

If the Mersea Island property is an apartment, or was built before 1900, or has been structurally modified, or is built of unusual materials (e.g. steel and glass), then RICS recommend a cheaper RICS Level 2 Survey.

If you are planning to do any significant alterations, RICS advise you carry out a RICS Level 3 Survey. The RICS Level 3 Survey is not as cheap, however it does offer a more detailed analysis of the Mersea Island property's general condition as well as advice on structural defects and maintenance options .

RICS Level 2 Survey valuation

Can I get an independent and professional valuation and reinstatement cost estimate (including costs for site clearance) and how is it worked out

A RICS Level 2 Survey will contain a property valuation and a Reinstatement Cost as part of the report. To estimate the value of the property your surveyor will refer to knowledge of Mersea Island and other considerations about the property for instance: general condition The surveyor will also consider materials used and will make certain key assumptions, for example there are no damaging materials.

A RICS Level 3 Survey won't include a valuation as standard. However we can add a valuation for a small additional fee. Alternatively a Property Valuation Report (PVR) can be carried out. The valuation is also on the basis that there is an absence of any serious legal issues like the property being sold with vacant possession. Such concerns will be clarified by your conveyancer.

Further area conjectures, for example services, are made in addition to Mersea Island environmental problems like intrusive noises or smells, also being considered.

RICS Level 3 Survey on flats 1

Is it best to spend a bit more on full structural survey prior to buying a doer-upper, sixties garden flat in Mersea Island?

The Full Structural Survey is now called the RICS Level 3 Survey. Commission a RICS Level 3 Survey if you are contemplating the flat referred to. A RICS Level 2 Survey will suffice if investigating a post 1950s Mersea Island property assembled from standard construction materials. There are some limitations exist with any survey as a qualified surveyor will not be able to open up the fabric of the flat for example, or inspect no ladder available for flat roofs. Also flats often involve shared parts of the building which cannot always be accessed. , and your appointed surveyor can only scrutinise the area within identifiable boundary of the flat,, he may give details of shared sections of the property for example any alarm system.
